Manners Training - More Info
My Manners Training Package is designed to help you teach your dog basics such as:
  • attention
  • sit
  • down
  • come

Private manners training sessions are available to work on basic manners, NOT behavior problems such as growling, fear, aggression, snapping, biting, or food/toy/bone guarding.

​Behavior problems can be addressed in a Behavior Consultation or I will refer you to a behaviorist. Scroll down for more info about Behavior Consultations.

Behavior Consults - More Info
I offer behavior consultations for problems such as:
  • aggression towards dogs
  • resource guarding (food bowl, toys, etc.)
  • fear-based behaviors
  • leash-reactive dogs
Based ​upon my consultation with you and your family members, along with an analysis of a history of the problem, I will observe and when appropriate, handle your dog. I will give you a preliminary assessment of your dog’s behaviors and help you:
  • assess risk
  • explore your options
  • set realistic goals
  • install immediate management measures
  • make a plan of action
The plan of action varies for each situation. A plan of action includes your commitment to:
  • continued management measures
  • making reasonable lifestyle changes
  • learning and practicing basic obedience exercises regularly with your dog
  • learning how to communicate effectively with your dog
  • instituting measures to modify both your dog's behavior and yours
Behavior modification involves applying principles of learning to change a behavior. The basic idea is to change a behavior from one that is undesirable to one that is desired or more acceptable. Behavior modification not only involves your dog, but also consists of teaching you and your family how to interact with your dog to minimize/manage problems and help you manage and/or prevent problems. Behavior modification requires your time and commitment; quick fixes don't exist.

I do NOT guarantee that your dog's behavior will be resolved after a behavior consultation. Your dog’s response depends upon many components such as: hereditary factors, puppy-hood experiences, current circumstances, and the amount of time you dedicate to changing your dog’s behavior. Such a mix of factors makes it impossible to accurately predict how any one dog will respond to training and behavior modification.

PLEASE NOTE: The first visit will not immediately "solve" or "fix" the dog's behavior problem. There are no quick fixes. A consultation will help assess the severity of the problem you're living with, the possible risks and ramifications for your family, and potential for improvement. At the consultation, we will discuss setting up additional appointments. The number of appointments recommended will depend on many factors.  Again one session will not be enough to change the behavior.
